New Dutch Lap Exterior Siding

Choosing the right exterior treatment options can be challenging, especially when the difference between siding profiles is minimal. For instance, what is the difference between Dutch lap vs. traditional vinyl siding? When to choose one over the other?

In short, the main distinguishing factor between the two is ‘the aspect’. Although both profile styles consist of overlapping planks, Dutch lap vinyl siding is characterized by a concave edge that curves into a notched overlap. This lapping style creates attractive shadow lines that add visual texture – especially when looking at the house from afar.

Traditional vinyl siding looks quite similar from a close distance. However, the straight edges don’t create the stylish shadows the Dutch lap vinyl siding is famous for.

 

There are also many types of lap siding. Such as clapboard siding, beaded lap siding, Dutch lap vinyl siding, shiplap siding – to name a few. All of these siding types have their advantages and disadvantages. Homeowners employ them in their own way.

 

Why Dutch Lap Vinyl Siding?

Dutch lap is a variant of clapboard siding. Traditionally made of wood, most Dutch lap vinyl siding nowadays is made of vinyl. The Dutch lap panels are characterized by a sharp bevel that creates a contrast between the planks. Moreover, this type of siding has deep troughs designed to create a strong shadow line. Originally, Dutch lap siding had hand-carved edges, a feature that used to drive up the style’s cost. Although vinyl siding is not hand-carved, the highly desirable look is immediately achieved.

 

Today’s Dutch lap vinyl siding actually helps better insulate your structure. After Expressway installs your new siding, you’ll probably notice an immediate reduction in energy consumption. Your new Dutch lap vinyl siding will also shield your home with a protective barrier that defends against wind, water, insects, and other potential damage.

New house siding, and vinyl in particular, can save you in up front and save you down the road in future maintenance costs. For instance, with new vinyl siding on your home, you may never need to paint your house again.

 

Dutch lap siding is a visual delight, offering a distinct and charming appearance that draws the eye. Its defining feature is the concave edge that creates a notched overlap, resulting in elegant shadow lines that add depth and texture to your home’s exterior. This siding style is particularly appealing when viewed from a distance. Dutch lap siding’s unique design sets it apart from traditional vinyl siding, making it a popular choice for those who appreciate the artistry of shadow and light on their homes.

If you’re improving your home’s exterior or planning to get rid of your old, beaten up siding, maybe  consider getting fiber cement siding installed. Fiber cement siding has many benefits you can enjoy. Fiber cement siding comes in a myriad of colors, textures and styles that mimic other conventional siding materials like stucco, clapboards or cedar shingles. It’s durable because it’s made from a combination of sand, cement and wood fiber. It can survive longer than other contemporary siding materials because it is resistant to fire, wind and insect infestation. 

Wood siding comes in a variety of styles. The most common styles include board and batten, shakes, shingles, and clapboards. Giving a natural, warm appearance and timeless beauty, builders often choose wood for premium projects. Pine and cedar are the two main wood species used for exterior siding. Cedar types include eastern white cedar, red cedar and Alaskan yellow cedar; each type has a color true to its name. While pine siding can be very affordable, it can’t resist rot and insects like cedar can.

As stone veneer siding has gained in popularity, more and more companies began producing natural stone siding that is cut to a standard thickness from quarried stone. The most obvious advantages associated with real stone veneer siding is that A) it is real stone B) it is much lighter in weight and therefore much easier to install and fit precisely and C) the stone patterns, textures and shades just can’t be replicated by any other veneer. When properly installed and cared for, stone veneer siding lasts indefinitely and stands the tests of Long Island’s weather.

A huge advantage of engineered wood siding is that it is highly durable. It withstands the weather better, wards off insects, and even resists fire for a certain duration compared to natural wood. The chemicals used on it dramatically increase its durability and longevity, so you won’t have to worry about replacing it anytime soon. Another benefit of having engineered wood siding on your home is that it reduces noise pollution. Engineered wood will serve you well if you want practicality while sacrificing a little bit of the exterior appearance.
